What To Play For Slow 12/8 Blues

[greghagger]

One of the many things that I like about Blues is the slow epic guitar solo. The slow Blues is where you’ll find these solos and this style often contains the most heartfelt, emotional and serious side of the Blues.

 

Slow Blues songs are mostly in the 12/8 time signature, which requires a different mindset from playing in the more usual 4/4 time. There are also particular bass patterns that work well in this style, and some that don't!

 

In my latest lesson, I deep-dive the slow 12/8 Blues style and give you examples of the types of bass grooves and rhythms that work well in this style. It's essential to understand the slow Blues and know exactly what to play if you want to sound like an authentic Blues bass player.
